KB842773 Download Error

[Morkeleb]

Hi.

I ran xpcreate and it failed to download WindowsXP-KB842773-x86-deu.exe:

-- 20:26:41 --> Downloading: SVC-HF1\WindowsXP-KB842773-x86-deu.exe

-- 20:26:50 --> Listing Hotfixes and Updates.

Error: "Download Error: SVC-HF1\WindowsXP-KB842773-x86-deu.exe"

Press Enter to Exit.

The file really doesnt exist anymore, but there is a v2 version.

Whats the difference between original and v2?

I tried to update the XPCTHLST.TXT to fix that so it uses the newer one,

but the script always downloads the file again and overwrites it.

How can I get xpcreate to run through?

Thanx!

You cannot manually edit the local copy of XPCTHLST.TXT. With DLAUTO = YES in your XPCREATE.INI this file will be (as you stated) downloaded each time you run XPCREATE and so your changes will be overwritten.

Your chance (untill one of the admins GM or Virindi will check the "v2" and eventually update the XPCTHLST.TXT) to create a CD is the following:

Possibility A

========

Download all needed hotfixes and sort them according to GM's information on his website. Download WindowsXP-KB842773-x86-deu.exe (the version you want) and set DLAUTO = NO in XPCREATE.INI. Then re-run XPCREATE.

Possibility B

========

Edit your copx of XPCTHLST.TXT and put it on a webserver (or perhaps a normal file location works; too?) of your own and then edit the DLURL line in XPCREATE.INI (see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=26192) Then re-run XPCREATE

Hope this helps.

Thanks, frankiboy_01. I'd say that covers it. I will be updating the lists to SP2 for all languages ... soon. For now, I would have to say that the pre-SP2 lists are "unsupported".
